Arcadia Items.

| 1t Is with great cheerfulness that these few
items are penned-not cheerful because OF
the items, but cheerful my mind is in think
ing of the future Arcadia. We are all bound
| to know that after the 14th of March, 1887,
there will be a change for the better or worse
in Arcadia, and the prospects are very flat
ering for the former. Arcadia will be the
| resort of many people from the crowded
cities. But no more on this subject, as we
shall all soon see for ourselves.
Mr.. DR.. Wallace, st. Louis, is here on a
visit to friends and relatives.
Mr.. Ben Govereau, st. Genevieve, was in
Arcadia last week, making arrangements for
his sisther to enter school in the Convent.
He also made arrangements for himself with
an outside party, but as "Old Maid" is not as
perniciously active in such affairs as her
sisters, she declines to make such arrange
ments known to the curious and unsympa-
thetIc.
There is TO be general change among our
railroad men. We are informed that Mr..
kells (engineer) will 90 on the road. He
will be succeeded on tine pusher by Mr..
Young. We are also informed that our old
friend, James Baird, has secured a position
as fireman on the pusher.
Mr.. j. NJ. Eingo went Clarlston last
week to be absent several weel S.
Miss Cora Whelahon has dismissed her
school in Pilot Knob for one montn on the
account of the scarlet fever. She is enjoying
a recreation at her pleasant little home in
Arcadia.
Old "Uncle Jim" tells me that "Aunt SAL
II" is provoked at "UncIe Pete" for recently
sending her three dozen of the feline family.
They were intended for the "Old Maid" but
the sender made "miss cue," and sent
them to "Aunt Sally"
Miss Minnie Collins, Des Arc, paid Arcadia
short visit last week.
James Weathers is very sick with pneu-
monia, but we know that he will soon be con-
valescent under the skilIful treatment of
DR.. Farrar.
Miss leila Hayden has gone on a visit in
st. Louis county to be absent several weeks.
Rev. Headlee preached February 9Th, to
small band of the sistering, it being rather
bad day for the brethering 20 turn out. But
cheer up, brothers; when MI. Headlee preach
es next Sunday perhaps it will be pretty
day.
Mr.. J. c. Medley, Wolf Island, is here on
visit to his family.
Miss Naomi Gratiot, after visiting her par
ents several weeks, returned to st. Louis
Sunday.
The ARCADIA Social Club" has again COM
menced making inroads in Arcadia. I am in
favor of such a thing for the young folks
here, but hope it will not decoy any of the
members of the aSoher Twelve" for they
have seen their day and have no business
meddling with the young folks.
Mrs.. B. F. MeGhee, after visiting relatives
In Arcadia the last two weeks, returned to
Knob Lick, to be absent till spring.
Most of our dancing young folks attended
the dance in Ironton, at the Academy of
Music, last Monday night, and report an en-
ioysble affair.

C0lOred Society Notes.

and its 10 be hoped that he will not become
carried away by the gaudy things of the
City.
Now the teacher says, that he wants the
girls TO distinctly understand, that he did
not, on the third inst, glide out of his 3Sth
year into his 39th, but out of his 37th into
his 3Sth year; and that he is well satisfied
with his own dear Liddy Ann.
The church people are all on the look -out
for the Fourth Quarterly Meeting, which is
set for the Goth inst.
MIR. Thomas, of Pilot Knob, visited the
school during the past week, and expressed
n:mseif as being well pleased with the disci-
pIiue of the school, and the progress which
the pupils were making in their studies. All
right! Let others come, and see and hear
for themselves. All true teachers invite
friendly visits. and criticisms, if the criti-
csm be pertinent.
1 am sorry to announce that Prince Cody
is very sick at the house of his brother at
Arcadia.
A Colored Missionary writes from Africa
as follows: 81 received a Bey King last
Sunday into full membership, who had serv-
ed out faithfully more than The usual period
of probation. This native king is named
Musa, his town is Glemah. The greater por
ton of my charge, 1 am sorry to say, are
poor people: they promise me only $3.50 a
year for my services, and pay me that in
pIantans, bananas, potatoes, cassavas, and
a little money, and have for the last three
years been indebted to me, vel, I have not
suffered day for bread. He who hargs the
universe upon MS arm and feeds its vast fam
ilv at bis table, will care for me and FEED his
minis, e,s.'' With such self-denving fail h as
ais, is it any wonder tuat the defenseless
missionary is able 10 subdue kingdoms, and
put % fight he armies of the Aliens? The
principaI religions of the ma ives of Africa
are Mnhammcdan and Pagan.

Last Sunday evening, about O'Clock,
Thomas Potts and Charley Mcclure, charg-
ed with burglary, broke Jail. A little after
the hour named, Mrs. Whitworth (Pres hav-
ing gone to Webb City after John Sales) be-
came suspicious and went to the door leading
into the Jail proper. As the light from the
lamp she carried shone through the grated
door, a prisoner jumped down from the first
window on the right, and ran around to the
other side of the row of cells. Mrs. ". re-
manned at the door, and sent for Mr.. Kesling.
When he came they went in and found that
the two prisoners named had priced the in
ner bars of the window apart and broken
one of the large cast bars on the outside
thus giving themselves egress and liberty.
The aperture thus formed was SO small that
the prisoners scraped the buttons off their
clothes in forcing through. Both were small
and slim. I; the aperture had been larger
no doubt the keeper would have found an
empty Jail; as it is, of course those remain
ing are perfectly innocent and wouldn't have
gone away under any condition! The jailor
is especially DESTROYS of securing Potts, who
is a hard case. His right leg is crooked and
stiff, and will give him away 10 any one on
the lookout for him.

Alex Cameron and John Murray went out
riding the other day, and while they were
driving through Ironton the horse became
frightened and threw them both from the
buggy, bnt with no more serious results than
good and muddy, and an Ironton young
lady getting good laugh 1t them.
Our friend, Nr. John Smith, has left here
for his home in Richmond.
The Ball given on Monday evening by
Fleetwood and Petrie was a grand success.
There was good crowd, and very enjoy

decorating the hall, and also for the kind

SWINGING AROUND THE CIRCLE.

On the morning of ia luary oath, the line
OF march was taken up from Mr.. James
Strckland's for Ironton. After a short. de-
tention at Nj. Nelson Adams, night found
the tramp at Mr.. Henry Westerman's on
Joe's creek, having scored fifteen miles.
On Tuesday morning tents were struck for
| an advance on Ironton, distance twenty long
miles. The route lay up the north fork OF
.Joe's creek and over the ridge to Mr.. Lam
Dert's, thence past the Hartridge house over
to Adrew chapel, thence up the Imboden
about mile and over to the East Fork and
up that stream about two miles and thence
over to Stout's creek. Having crossed that
stream three times, the right bank was kept
from the upper end of Mr.. Reagan's farm to
the Greason place. Finding the stream not
wadable, and being taxpayer with leaky
boots, the tramp felt at liberty to avail him.
self of the splendid bridge built over the
creek at IrontOn by the county; he went
around by Arcadia, thus increasing the dis
lance at least one mile. On the street Of
Arcadia he met his old friend, Mr.. Joseph
Hasty, looking we'll, and at about $50 P. NJ.
reached home at the kesling House and re-
ceiyed a cordial welcome.
Having partaken of splendid supper and
being surrounded by intelligent and orderly
friends, the tramp looked back to November,
1872, when armed to the teeth, he, in one
night, had made a forced march of forty
miles, over more ground than he had cover
ed in two days, and when on the whole route
there was not one friend whom he could
trust.
Two things now drew his attention; the
one was the greatly flushed state of the
streams and the other the excellent state Of
the roads. Although very weary he went to
church that night, as he also did the two fol-
lowing nights, and heard Rev. Thomas twice
and Elder Corrington once.
Measured by the prevalent standard the
preaching was good, but lacked what a
painter would call grip.
Tha Methodist church at Ironton seems to
be starting opposition to the Academy of
Music. Will they accept a suggestion?
When they adopt curtain and scenery let
the right hand side Of the stage be beauti-

arms lovingly about peaceful land" inhab-

the clergy, with suggestions of ipoor music

prominent place could be given to the rather
burly figure and grisly features of party of
whom an avoidance of egotism forbids the
mention. But he Gould be depicted as hus-
tied around over a floor through which blue
blazes are bursting and among barrels of
birthstone by gentlemen ushers with an OUT
fit of hoofs, horns. tails and pitchforks.
It was pleasant to see that quite number
of neat and tasty improvements mad been
made recently in Ironton.
ON Wednesday morning 1t was falling
weather in Ironton. Out of doors was coat
ed with ice. Although iocomotion was linn
tied, calls were made on our gentlemanly

per cent. OF the taxes were in. This is a
good showing for Iron county. Next visit
was made to the old and reliable Whitworth

Then August Winkler received a call and

ances.
Prof. Vance's department in the public
school was visited, but the shows at the
Methodist church and at the Academy OF
Music were telling severely on the school.
A call was made on the school at Pilot
Knob, where scarlet fever scare was play
ing havoc in the whole school. Arcadia

Professors Scott and Vance.
After hard tramp of twelve miles over
the ice and through the sleet, Friday night
was blissfnlly spent under the hospitable
roof of my old brotherly friend, DR.. Nc
Kinney.
On Saturday home was reached with
neighbor John w. Here the boys were all
at home and well. The boss had new,
round toed hat, and his other half a very
nice new dress. both presented by their
young friends. Miss Laura was in much
better health than when the tramp saw her
last.
On the following Tuesday at noon charge
was made on the Belleview mud westward.
After risking the loss of his boots in the mud
at least twenty times, the tourist reached
Mr.. Webb's, at Kaolin, feeling that he must
be at least six footer, as every joint in him
was stretched to its utmost tension. The
time passed very pleasantly in conversation
and vocal and instrumental music, we'll rem
dered by Miss Lucy, who is making good
progress IN music.
At Wednesday noon good bye for the pres

were gathered in passing through.

knowledge OF the Presidents vlews, aud he
is correctly reported In the New York
UOrld, a change as great as that which CON
verted Saul the prosecutor into Paul the
apostle has come over President Cleveland
since he sent his message TO Congress on
the 9th Of December.
In that message President Cleveland said:
It must be conceded that none OF the thIass
subject to the internal revenue taxation are,
strictly speaking, necessarles; there appears to
be no just complaint Of this taxation by the
consumer OF these articles, ana there seems
10 be nothing so well able to hear the burden
without hardship 10 any portion of the people.
Mr.. Randall, as quoted In the World,
says;
There Is misapprehenslon as TO the Pres.
idents position on the internal revenue quos.

supplemental message to Congress on the sub

believes that the internal revenue laws are
